Okay, another language lesson for Yankee Doodle: Can the rhyme be improvised on the spur of the moment and/or are there "standard" rhymes? I saw dot dash for cash and donkey's ears for years . . . what are some others that y'all prefer?

The Cabbage and Ribs hibs! i suppose it can be both improvised and standard, if they are good they catch on and become standard.

My wife gets terribly confused by rhyming slang, although she does like when I tell the dog not to get all Leeds United. Her favourite was when my mate Gary Joyce (good Hibbie) referred to a co-worker of his in an email as a "James Blunt"......
I once worked with a guy whose personal hygiene left a lot to be desired. We called him "Mr President", because he was feckin' Abraham Lincoln! ;D
